Accept vehicle documents, driving licence in electronic format: Centre asks states

The Road Transport and Highways Ministry has asked states to facilitate acceptance of driving licence and other documents like vehicle registration certificates in electronic format by enforcement agencies.<br />''   <br />''The Ministry, while issuing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to states, said yesterday that vehicle owners can also show their documents like driving licence, RCs and insurance certificates through mobile apps like Digilocker and mParivahan app.<br />'' <br />''The enforcement agencies like traffic and transport departments can simultaneously access these details from eChallan app, which has data for online verification of vehicle and its licence status, the ministry said. <br />'' <br />''<span style="color: #222222;">The move is aimed at doing away with the handling of documents physically by enforcement agencies. Citizens would also escape from harassment of the collection of documents after paying challans, according to the ministry.</span><br />
